South Holland District Council now has a new composition for a fresh four-year term.
The 37 members covering 18 wards were elected during a count in Spalding on Friday afternoon, following Thursday’s poll.
It was a good election for the ruling Conservative group, which increased its number of seats by three to 28.
For the first time, UKIP has members on the council – Paul Foyster (Holbeach Town) and Pete Williams (Spalding St Mary’s).
There were mixed feelings for Coun Angela Newton, who was re-elected again to extend her 41-year stand but saw her Independent group slip from having 12 seats to seven.
The turnout for the election was more than 60 per cent, thanks to the poll coinciding with the General Election for the first time since 1979.
